The kinetic energy is given by:


K=(1)/(2)mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = Speed of the object

The elastic potential energy is given by:


U=(1)/(2)k\Delta x

Where:

k = Constant of the spring

Δx = Displacement

As we can see, both energy depends on different factors, therefore we can conclude the statement is true

Answer:

True
